Darling: Boat on shore

[Vollmer]

Anyone know the story on this? Boat is up on shore a ways on Darling. A buddy sent me the pic, and I had not heard anything on it.

Wow! I'm pretty sure blue cans played a role. Maybe even 750ml bottles.

Or was it foggy up there recently?

 

[Vollmer]

Sounds like it has been there a week or better.

Hoping everyone was okay.

Impressive...

Pretty sure that is riverfishers second cousin’s boat

 

[guywhofishes]

Yellow tape can't be a good thing

I think it’s pretty clear what he’s up to: he put a boat way the hell up on shore at Darling and what he did to the boat was such an atrocity they’re investigating it as a crime scene.

What part of the lake V? Haven't had the boat on Darling since early June, but was actually thinking about running up there when I get off work Friday.

Maybe it was stolen

This thread should be titled: “Found: fishing boat at Darling” then if nobody on the site claims it I guess it’s yours.

 

[LBrandt]

Brings a whole new meaning to "drive it like you stoled it".

 

[Wags2.0]

Ran when parked

 

[risingsun]

FOR SALE : As is. HIGH water boat only !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hay V with your penchant for moving threads lately shouldn't this be in the Boating Forum or perhaps the lost and found? Just saying! :;:stirthepot

 

[measure-it]

The driver took the advise "fish in the weeds" a little too literally!

 

[ShootnBlanks]

Obviously he was bullied by the owners of sparkle boats

I've never been on Darling so I have no idea, and my thought may be way off. However, it looks like there's at least some kind of trail to the right of the boat and maybe an unimproved shore launch below the boat. Perhaps someone tried to use the shore launch and dropped the boat off the trailer when going back up the hill?

I'd just expect to see more damage to the grass, the motor, and I'd think that someone would've broken at least one of the windows if they hit shore hard enough to slide it up that far.

I think the answer to your question is in your statement that the trail you see that the right is the one left by the boat going ashore. Boats beaching like that often won't have a whole lot of obvious damage and the key places where it would have damaged we can't see i e the lower unit in the lower part of the bow. Add that to the simple fact that generally if you drop your boat off your trailer you don't leave it sitting there for a week it adds up to someone most likely either drunk or stolen boat out for a joyride.
